Visa!

...and no, I do not have a new credit card :)

My received my visa in the mail yesterday--it turned out better than I thought it would.  When you take a photo for the purpose of getting a passport (or a visa) it usually looks horrible...horrible beyond belief.  This one...eh...not so bad.

I'm just grateful to finally have my visa in my hand.  Departure is in about a month--so now I'm starting to get a little more motivated about packing.  Suitcase shopping is next on the list :)

Cheers!

So it's been a while...

Almost a month since my last post!

Nothing much to report yet--I had my visa appointment (which was way easier than I thought it was going to be).

One thing I know I already dislike is bureaucracy--copy after copy of document upon document (plus translations)--however bureaucracy comes with dealing with any government agency (so I really shouldn't be surprised at all the paperwork).

While I'm waiting for several important emails to come back, I'm just trying to keep from packing! 

Excited? Very!
